How did shells, bones, and other trinkets work as currency? Thank you. But this appears to largely be well-informed conjecture (primarily on why shells could work as currency). Do we know, for example, how Native American tribes used shells as currency? How rare were the shells used? Who decided such matters or was it completely arbitrary? I'm interested in how the economy worked using shells as currency. |

How did Mongolian nomads acquire metal weapons? Genghis Khan's birth name of Temujin (as those of his brothers, Temülin and Temüge) is derived from temür meaning iron. The name "indicated an implied lineage in a family once known as blacksmiths". |

Were British fears of Russia using Afghanistan as a staging post for an invasion of India unfounded? William Dalrymple's new book covers this in detail. |

What was the practical reason for East Germany to reunify with West Germany? DDR and BRD or GDR and FRG; I'm unaware of any FDRs besides Roosevelt. |

What were the relative contributions of oral & literary education in 5th century BCE Athens? Please link to the article or include a relevant excerpt along with attribution. Considering that books were all handwritten at the time, you might want to qualify "great circulation". |
